Hi all,
I need a suggestion which type of PLEXTOR CD-drive is optimal for mastering studio.
I've been resolved to PX-716UF, but (is said) it is ending type yet and I'm not sure what else to buy.
Thanks for any opinion.

ConfusedI read technical information of the Plextors we was talking about and I agree that Plexwriter Premium2 is for cd-mastering issue optimal. Plextools Professional are available.
Technically, do you prefer an external unit?
Thanks for your reply.

Currently, there's really only one choice if those are the features you want.
And if you're creating production masters, those are features you *need* to have.
Then mine is defective!? :? It runs PToolsPro like a champ.

Seriously; might as well pay a few more bucks and be able to burn DVDs too.

Hmmm... My aplogies - Plextor told me that the 716 was the only one left that allowed for C1/C2 checks. It wouldn't be the first time they didn't exactly have the facts straight...
If this isn't the case, I might order a half dozen myself... I only have one spare drive left - And it's a 712...
The Q-Check is fully functional for BLER and all? Jitter & focus & yada, yada?

Oh, I didn't even realize they were doing a Plexwriter#2. Seems a little expensive for just a CD burner, especially when you can get the DVD one for about the same $$$.
I also found this in a thread on Cdfreaks:
On one hand it seems that my Premium 2 does focus slightly worse on the disc surfaces than my Premium does. On the other hand the Premium 2 sometimes seems to have a slight advantage in Tracking. Overall they are rather close together which we can take as an indication that the laser unit used in the Premium 2 is nothing revolutionary new. Any difference in favour of the Premium is small enough to be attributed to a more mature servo driving algorythm in the firmware. After all we must not forget that the Premium is a mature product while the Premium 2 is still in it's infancy (a fact that will surely also show clearly in further testing).In comparison the laser unit of the PX-760 with it's "advanced intelligent tilt" capability shows a marked improvement, while a PX-716 would show about the same results as the Premium and Premium 2 (for results of the 716 see the generic CD-scans thread: http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=136562 ).

The 716 is the one. If the new Plextor Plexwriter Premium is available near you, that'd be the first pick.
Generally, you need a drive that will allow you to run PlexTools Professional (not just PlexTools).
